PlayStation Store Highlights

PS Vita Summer Select wraps up this week with Dragon Fantasy Book II, and brings the heat with Killzone: Mercenary. Puppeteer is out on PS3, along with new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty Black Ops bundles. For PS Plus members, Galaga Legions DX is free this week, along with some new discounts!

It’s alright, it’s not like Pinball Arcade doesn’t have enough trophies already. I don’t mind the lack of trophies on future packs, I’ll still buy them. Bragging rights in pinball comes from the leaderboards anyway, and those are still intact. But of course, mostly play for fun. :)

RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE POST:
How can you offer us Hitman Absolution, a game with technical issues that has left hundreds of people (at least) without the posibility of coming to an end, because the saved data gets lost randomly (the same for the Contracts Mode). At the same time, you are supporting the bad behavior of the company in charge of HA, because promissed on their official forum (forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?s=563c38ee688739184931ffe696d27f03&t=131742) to give us a solution but they have done nothing from the released date until now.
I consider this disrespectful, specially coming from Sony…How is this possible?
I’m STILL waiting for an official answer…

Although I just thought of something cool… if anyone from FarSight sees this, I hope they mull over this idea I have…

Right now Pinball Arcade has 96 trophies. Obviously, if the limit is 100, then trophies can’t be added for Pack 16 otherwise the limit would be exceeded (102), but how about adding trophies for the next single-table pack – Terminator 2 – to bring the trophy count up to 99, and then add a final 100th trophy… a gold (or a platinum, if possible) for unlocking all the other trophies? I think that would be pretty sweet.

I’ve noticed that if I download a Plus item from my PS3/Vita, it won’t show up as purchased on the web Store. For example, I have Retro City Rampage and Pinball Arcade both in my download list, and they both show up as purchased on my PS3/Vita, but on the the web store I’m given the option to purchase both.

Not sure if this issue has been brought up, just thought I should share it. Seems the only two titles affected are cross buy.

Is there an error here or am I going crazy? That Soul Sacrifice DLC, “The Iron Lady’s Tears of Red”, its not new. In fact, I have already downloaded and looked it up on my download list to verify the date, which is, September 4th.

Should there be a new DLC or just nothing new at all for Soul Sacrifice this week?

also, I just did a bit of searching on Amazon, and a bit of math. The Modern Warfare collection is $68 here, you can get the GOTY for CoD4 and MW2, and MW3 with DLC collection 1, for 72.28….so, 4 bucks more plus a little bit of shipping (around 8 bucks, since MW2 has free shipping) , and…you get a lot of the DLC free, vs. this which you only have the vanilla games, rip-off anyone? I imagine Black Ops is the same deal, I’d try to lower the prices a bit more if I were you, Sony.

ENOUGH with the Street Fighter avatars! Who is in charge of making them? They need to be informed that there are other games on the PS3 they can choose from, there is way too much focus on the same few titles! All these great game launches come and go, and nothing. Avatars may be a petty thing to get angry about, but after years of this I am fed up. Is it too much to ask for a better variety? The composition is often horrible too, with the character a tiny speck surrounded by a blank space. Would have loved aliens/xenomorphs, Skyrim, and Diablo 3 avatars to name a few.

SCEA I hate you! Where is my Theatrical Pack ?! Pre-Ordered last week the Puppeteer Digitally and you are just screwing us around ! Fck you, I hate such an awful behavior; especially from a big Corp. like you.

You guys working on ironing out the licensing issues to get more PS1 games on the store for both ps3 and vita? and PSP games as well? I own alot of ps1 titles that I unfortunately can’t play on my Vita and honestly it seems like you guys tend to announce features then just drop support so quickly..

It seems to me, and I don’t think I’m alone on this, that since PS+ will be mandatory in a few months (for PS4), Sony it’s not even trying anymore. The sales are getting worse, no real, interesting PS3 games as used to be, no real discounts except for a few among many ripoffs… well, maybe the PS+ good days have already ended but I still had hope.
And all of you people who will buy the ‘sales’ of CoD. You support this greedy, disrespectful behaviour.

i agree
i can not find any legit reason why a digital game cost way more then a retail disc game.
i know for a fact that pc games from steam and windows live get huge discounts on super cool games.

all i can say is people need to shop around before paying full price on all these old games.
the psp games are way over priced on the psn store

Will we see any more PSone Classics become available to the VIta without resorting to transferring from the PS3, because it’s ridiculous how long it’s been since the last good update almost a year ago. So far there has been no sign of games like Metal Gear Solid, Crash, or Spyro appearing on the Vita store. Did you guys give up or is it just incompetence?

Hey Sony…I’m having an annoying problem…every time I try to download something on Vita…it gets stuck in the screen “preparing please wait”….and if I cancel the Vita freezes and I’m forced to power off….I dunno if its just me but please fix this.

PS3 needs an update ASAP to players who are online on Vita be shown online on PS3 as well and the game they’re playing…I mean how is it possible that you guys didn’t include this feature on PS3 yet?….whats the point of seeing your friends who are online on Vita shown offline on PS3.Come on Sony thats something really needed…please please release an update for that.I beg you.

On another talk….Puppeteer and Mercenary made this a great update but I’m getting both on retail…more of those SD SF avatars…..OMG I can’t resist them.

I know it’s not related to the US Store, but please get the folks at SCEE to do something about the missing Rocksmith content which i’ve asked of them (and Rocksmith on Twitter & Facebook) without any form of reply.

I’m not sure about this, but I’m thinking the reason Uncharted 3 has more than 100 trophies might be because it’s a first-party title, or considered a major retail release. Different rules may apply to third parties and/or downloadable games, just like most downloadable games don’t have platinum trophies due to some rule.

@TwinDad That’s correct. A real shame that thelookey6 doesn’t comprehend with me at all whatsoever.

And to tell by maxideaccion’s avatar (Which he doesn’t have one), he isn’t a PS+ subscriber. He wouldn’t be able to get Hitman: Absolution unless he has the physical disc and that PS+ has cloud storage for saving data. So if the save data does get lost, he could just back it up beforehand. So I consider his post disrespectful and offending because he is trying to scam Sony. He’ll never get an “official” answer and I hope he never will.

And don’t worry about the me spamming the “I’m offended message.” I will only be posted once after maxideaccion’s “we gamers are insulted” comment. It would get annoying if I put it on every comment I type.

i just get a kick out of seeing you rant all over the blog lol and now that i know you get offended if someone talks bad about a game that you did not make i will never waste another post on you because 9 x out of 10 you live with your parents and are in your early teens . my guess is 13 or 15 years of age

@Gamerzlimited /145 you are pretty childish and pretty much a brown tongue . you reply to anyone who disses sony but why? just because you do not see a plus symbol by peoples name on this blog does not mean they are not a plus member. gosh dude give it a rest

@thelookey6 How long are you going to keep this up? All I’m trying to do is to put out the fire and your trying to add fuel to it. And nope, your completely wrong. All my friends and myself are college students. Someone in his/her 13s or 15s would never talk my way. I bet that’s how old you and your friends are. Good, I hope you stop talking to me, period.

Gamerzlimited
everyone calls u out did you not read anyone post that directed at you? all you do is cry cry cry in every post you make and if you are in college that means someone wasted there money. i am going to set you straight once again. you saying that you will post spam after a member post what he or she has to say is called stalking . you jumping to sonys rescue every time someone has something negative to say is called you being dumb and a suck up and if you are in college you should understand my point. or maybe denial helps you sleep at night. long story short i own you with every post i make to and every thing i just typed is a pure 1 fact while all you type is random garbage to support you being in denial
i rest my case(the crowd cheers)
